Grindcore outfit from Switzerland whose tongue-in-cheek absurdity belies ferocious extremity. With releases titled Antebellum and Parabellum and a self-described ethos of war, death, and goat worship, they channel chaotic blasts through the Swiss underground.
Therogothin is one of the longer-running black metal projects from Oakland, Tennessee, active since 1998 and carrying two and a half decades of underground persistence. Their longevity in a small-city scene speaks to a dedication to raw black metal on their own terms, far from major metropolitan scenes.
Theron from the Alicante towns of Elda and Alcoi deliver heavy metal from southeastern Spain's shoe-manufacturing heartland, formed in 2024. Their name channels ancient Greek meaning 'hunter,' driving compositions of predatory intensity.
Theropoda is a death metal band from Stuttgart, Germany, formed in 2013 and named after the carnivorous dinosaur order. They deliver crushing death metal with a prehistoric thematic edge from Baden-Württemberg.
Therva from Prague craft progressive metal that navigates complex time signatures and layered arrangements, active since 2015 in the Czech capital's thriving metal underground. Their compositions favor intricate structural development and dynamic shifts over straightforward heaviness.
These Are They is a Chicago death metal band that has been pushing through the city's heavy underground since 2014, delivering straight-ahead brutality with roots in classic American death metal. Their Bandcamp presence reflects a DIY ethos consistent with Chicago's fiercely independent metal scene.
These Beasts are a Chicago stoner/sludge metal band formed in 2010, built on thick, fuzz-drenched riffs and the slow, swaggering heaviness that defines the genre's best moments. Their music carries the grimy industrial weight of the city filtered through weed-soaked amplifier worship.
These Cursed Hands emerged from Portland, Oregon in 2023 at the intersection of melodic death metal and metalcore, blending hook-driven songwriting with aggressive, technically precise riffing. Their approach leans into the melodic side of both genres, aiming for emotional impact alongside the brutality.
Doom/post-black metal one-man project from São Paulo, created in 2020 by Bruno Cassoni, guitarist of Songs of Oblivion. The debut album Epiphany, comprising five original compositions, was recorded entirely by Cassoni at his Obscure Room home studio and released in 2020; he followed it with the atmospheric single "Eternal Winter" in June 2022.
